N.S. Tory leader dismissed over a single incident in December, party now says
HALIFAX — The president of Nova Scotia’s Progressive Conservative Party says she was told by “multiple sources” about a single incident involving inappropriate behaviour by former leader Jamie Baillie.
Tara Miller released a statement as calls intensified Friday for more information on why Baillie was suddenly dismissed on Wednesday.
“I was made aware by multiple sources of allegations of inappropriate behaviour by Mr. Baillie toward one individual,” said Miller. “The only incident for which the allegation was made took place in December 2017. The PC Party promptly took action upon becoming aware of the allegation.”
Baillie was forced to quit after an investigation found he acted inappropriately and breached the legislature’s policy on workplace harassment.
